Of course he touched it; we're forever passing the bleedin thing back to him
But no, I don't think he had a save to make other than coming for balls a keeper will come for every day

The amount of points we've thrown away this season is criminal! could potentially argue 2 today, 3 against Peterborough and 1 against Colchester. Just in the past week we've absolutely blown it
3 in the championship to be fair mate
8th was the best and most recent time we were in the top half and that was 10 years ago!!!
8th in 05/06 Championship
12th in 03/04 Championship
11th in 01/02 Championship
Most recent top half finishes
12th in 03/04 Championship

Bet you we win next game then llose 2 or 3 on the trot then draw one then win one and the pattern goes on and on and on and on.....
This is becoming our destiny.
I have learnt a massive lesson from this season and the past to never praise or big up the sky blues up till the end of the last game of the season that if it is merited. This has happened far to often where we start of well at the beginning of the season and then comes Christmas Day and we transform into the shittest team in the league. Feels like Christmas Day is becoming a bloody curse.
All though's shouting for Mowbury's head... Leave it out will you. At the moment heis the best we have and I for one will hate to seem him pushed out of our club. I for one support him.

We were unlucky today. Should have won it at the death and we would all be saying well deserved. I don't think we are much off being good again. We just lack goals and like a striker out of form it will come back. Too late for this season.
With the help of Wiki - top half finishes since 1970:
69/70, 70/71,
77/78, 78/79,
86/87, 87/88, 88/89,
93/94,
01/02,
03/04,
06/07
So 11 in 45 years - and too many of those were 10th out of 20, 11th out of 22 etc
Not a sparkling record!

Too right Mowbray
After seeing the way we were with the Gills go to Wigan and show we are the best team in this division

Mowbray says;
Late on we should have won. Tudgay says GK got a touch onto the bar
Murphys touched onto bar too
Pretty poor quality football match
They're home team and we nearly came away with a 1-0 victory
Had same problem 2-3 month.
Is what it is
Our % of chances to goals isn't high enough over the season
Murphy didn't have as prosperous day as Jones did
Tried to exploit sides against a team with 3 at the back
After vocal encouragement we grew as the game went on
Not many times I thought 'ooh that was close'
Phillips is a young player, who went through a spell of costing us goals and needed taking out the firing line
He did fabulously well
Phillips better 1v1 defending wide and did well
Jones had dead leg from last game
Officials didn't protect players today
Jones could have been protected more
He took knocks
Can't expect him to do 90 mins after 90 mins
Armstrong on bench after 3 games in the week
Ref had a difficult day. Best thing to say without getting into trouble
Team not trying? No. A pride hurt? Yes
Les go to best team in league (Wigan) and see how we can perform
Gillingham good team.
We are disappointed we are where we are
Players need to try and believe
Frustration is we didn't score AGAIN
Lots of games where we haven't scored at all

Why wouldn't you use all three subs in a game like this? Gillingham used all theirs, we used just one. A 0-0 draw is useless to us.
Why would you when it sounded like as the game went on we got into the ascendancy. Who would you have brought on and for what effect?
Who would you have bought on, Armstrong is the only impact player we had on the bench
Yes, 2005/06 season so 10 years ago.

How much time on the training ground have we had in the last 3 months? The busiest period of the season, with largely only 3/4 days between matches? It's not the same as sunday league, not the only one that has 'been there and done that' when you have done it at a league one club, with injuries to every position in defence, then come back
Hahahahaha Lmfao. I played for Ayr utd, Montrose, and Raith in Scotland, and Coventry Sporting Club in Coventry, so Yes I think I am qualified to say... Been there, done that, anddddd worn the "T" shirt hahaha

As i said, you are not the 'only one to have been there and done that' you haven;t played at a good standard, i would assume it was a little while ago now if it is "played"? So the game has developed?
You don't train a style of play, a system, and formation for months and preach a system then just uproot it because of bad results. So yes maybe in your playing days you would change to say 4-2-3-1 from a 4-4-2 to gain more control in midfield... But you wouldn't suddenly go from possession football to, hoofball. When you have spent the summer recruiting players who can play a certain style
Is this your latest obsession.
We would without a points reduction have finished 9th two seasons ago with 61 points.
The season before they we'd have had 65 points and a place below top half but the season imploded after Robins left. Without the reduction we'd have still been a couple of wins of 7th
I will bow to your superior knowledge of the game seeing as I didn't play at a good standard of football against good teams like Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen, Dunfermline, Hibs, Motherwell, and Wolves first team including Britains second Million pound player Steve Kindon, Kenny Wagstaffe, Kenny Hibbert, Phil Parkes in goal,etc,etc,etc at Cov Sporting, or play in the FA Cup, against Tranmere, and Peterborough............ Oh wait a minute!

You did also say there were 20.000 at Highfield road in the Cup and it turned out to be 8,000 so it's fair to say your memory probably isn't what it was.

For all we know skybluegod is Tommy Hutchison...
Nutmegged Steve Whitton myself.
Amazing given I have zero footballing ability.
Mind you, it was Steve Whitton...

I will say this, he's a nice guy but all elbows on the pitch, cut me under the left eye, but no hard feelings towards him. Glad we were playing these guys as they were all making comebacks from injuries and at different stages of recovery, and we drew 3-3, and I'm proud to say Kindon didn't score(I was marking him)
In the last 20 games we've been one of he worst 3 in the division.
Keep pretending.
